Toss-Up: Johnny Manziel or Josh McCown as the Browns’ Week 10 Starter

No, this isn’t an episode of ESPN’s “Pardon the Interruption” or anything, but the decision as to whether Johnny Manziel or Josh McCown will make the start for the Cleveland Browns come Week 10 is currently a hot topic—nothing short of a bonafide “toss-up,” to be honest. On Friday, Browns’ coach Mike Pettine stated that […]

Colin Kaepernick Unhappy With Blaine Gabbert’s New Starting Role

Apparently, no NFL quarterback is safe from a sudden downfall. What started as a personal, on-field tragedy for Robert Griffin III has now managed to impact proven quarterbacks like Andrew Luck and Colin Kaepernick. Of the three quarterbacks in question, Kaepernick’s case is most interesting. Almost three short years ago, the young quarterback out of […]

Philip Rivers and Antonio Gates Strong Options Against Bears

The San Diego Chargers were dealt a terrible blow when wide receiver Keenan Allen was put on injured reserve with a lacerated kidney earlier this week.

Antonio Gates, Stevie Johnson, Malcom Floyd Ready to Shine, Ladarius Green Likely Out

Big Games in Store for Brandon LaFell and LeGarrette Blount?

The New England Patriots are the most powerful offensive unit in the league. They provide fantasy value at just about every position.

Those names have become somewhat boring as you can’t examine them on […]
